What was the length of the Soleil Royal in 1669? From what I can tell it was 200 ft. If that's true the ZHL model of it isn't 1/90 - it's 1/60. I must be wrong here. Can anyone help out?
This link:
says the length is 164 ft 6 in.
If it's actually 1/90 scale that would make it 303 feet long.
The ZHL version is only 3 mm shorter than the Mantua - that has a scale of 1/77.
I’m really confused. I have the ZHL SL on order so it’s of interest to me.
